Mathematics Minor

Course Requirements

The minor is intended for students who are interested in mathematics and want a strong mathematical foundation for studying in areas that rely heavily on analytical skills. Students are required to complete at least 10 courses as follows:

Lower-Division Courses

Choose one of the following courses:

MATH 19ACalculus for Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

5

MATH 20AHonors Calculus

5

Plus one of the following courses:

MATH 19BCalculus for Science, Engineering, and Mathematics

5

MATH 20BHonors Calculus

5

Plus one of the following courses:

MATH 21Linear Algebra

5

AM 10Mathematical Methods for Engineers I

5

Math 21 is preferred.

Plus all of the following courses:

MATH 23AVector Calculus

5

MATH 23BVector Calculus

5

Upper-Division Courses

Take the following course:

MATH 100Introduction to Proof and Problem Solving

5

Plus four upper-division electives:

The remaining four courses are chosen from MATH, AM, or STAT courses numbered 101-190. Courses must be 5 credits or more, and only one of the four courses can be from AM or STAT. Lecture and lab combinations count as a single course. For courses with a required concurrently enrolled lab, only successful completion of the lecture is required for the major. Successful completion of the lab may count toward total degree credits.

Courses from other departments must be reviewed and approved by the undergraduate vice chair. Under exceptional circumstances, MATH 100 may be substituted by another upper-division mathematics course. The undergraduate vice chair will review requests on an individual basis.

No senior seminar or thesis is required.
